The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued Amendment 6 to the Presidential declaration of a major disaster for the State of Florida, initially declared due to Hurricane Helene. The amendment extends the deadline for applying for loans to cover physical damages until January 7, 2025, while the deadline for Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) applications is set for June 30, 2025. Individuals and businesses affected by the disaster can apply for loans through the MySBA Loan Portal. All other details from the original declaration remain unchanged.
